Rubbing alcohol on a paper towel will remove the black soot from a jar candle.

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to remove soot from the inside of candle jars?

I do a quick swipe with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Works great!
There is a product called Speedy White I buy at my stove and spa store. I spray it on the glass front of my fireplace and the soot comes right off, wiping it with a paper towel or rag. I have used it to get soot out of candle jars too. It works very quickly.
Just wipe with a cotton ball or paper towel wet with rubbing alcohol. Easy and effective. (Hydrogen peroxide doesn't work, I know because I've tried it!)
The absolute easiest way to clean the soot from a candle jar is to wipe a dry used fabric softener sheet on the glass. This tip was posted on ThriftyFun and I have had fantastic results.
